Amplify Inc centers its grantmaking on local prevention work in Connecticut, with nearly all of its recent funding flowing through Local Prevention Council grants and related prevention programs. The foundation’s giving is built around community coalitions, municipal partners, and youth-serving organizations that work on substance misuse prevention, mental health promotion, and problem gambling awareness. Recent grants show a consistent pattern of support for organizations such as Ahm Youth & Family Services in Hebron and Southington Steps Coalition Youth Services in Southington, both of which received multiple awards tied to local prevention council work. Other grantees, including town departments, youth services offices, and regional coalitions, indicate a preference for place-based implementation rather than individual awards. Amplify also operates a set of prevention resource programs alongside cash grants. These include vaping/nicotine quit kit bags for youth cessation support, cannabis lock bags for safe storage, and mini-grants for gambling awareness and training. The overall portfolio reflects a funder focused on community-level prevention, outreach, and coordination across North Central Connecticut and other parts of the state.
A major part of Amplify Inc’s work is substance misuse prevention through Local Prevention Council grants. Recent awards include $18,961 to Ahm Youth & Family Services for Local Prevention Council work and $17,192 to the Town of Enfield Dept of Social Services for the same purpose. Problem gambling prevention is another clear priority. The foundation awarded $10,896 to Region 10 Wellness Coalition in Torrington for Local Prevention Council work, and its gambling mini-grant program supports awareness, training, community conversations, and early intervention. Amplify also supports youth-facing prevention tools. Its active resource program offers vaping/nicotine quit kit bags to community organizations for youth who want to quit vaping or nicotine, and it provides cannabis lock bags to local coalitions for safe storage messaging. These programs sit alongside broader health promotion and community outreach efforts. Several grants also go to municipal and youth-service partners, such as Newington Human Services and Bristol Parks Recreation Youth & Community Services, showing a focus on local implementation.
Amplify Inc’s recent grants cluster tightly around small to mid-sized awards. The typical grant size sits at $7,103 at the 25th percentile, a median of $7,924, and $11,801 at the 75th percentile. The recent grant list also shows repeat awards to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to ongoing support rather than one-off funding. The foundation works through a mix of direct grants and administered public funding, including Local Prevention Council grants funded by the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. It also offers in-kind community resources and accepts unsolicited requests for some active programs, including quit kits and cannabis lock bags.
